Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.

N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks


Commentary:

* Wimpy Kid Cabin Fever is up to #2 on the overall books list, and thus easily retains the #1 slot on the comics list as well. The runner-up is the tie-in to the Batman: Arkham City video game (#105 overall).

* The second volumes of Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson: Moon Called & Charlaine Harris' Grave Sight don't come out until January, but they're already popular enough to land back-to-back at #27 & #28 as this week's only debuts.

* Dead Watch: The second season premiered this part week, and we now have nine Walking Dead collections in the top fifty.
